LAUGHLIN – A sprinkler quickly doused a Wednesday morning fire in a room on the 24th floor of the Riverside Resort Hotel-Casino. There were no injuries, according to the Clark County Fire Department.
“It was a small fire, extinguished by our sprinkler system before the fire department arrived,” according to the hotel’s marketing department.
Clark County Fire Department Deputy Chief Girard Page said the fire, which occurred at about 8 a.m., ignited a curtain in a guest’s room, but the sprinklers did their job and put it out.
No injuries were reported..
He said the hotel staff followed standard safety procedures in evacuating everyone from the 23rd, 24th and 25th floors.
Page said investigators were checking to see what caused the fire, but as of early Wednesday afternoon, he had not received their report.
